I'm probably going to go myself but reckon its a bit early for a thread. Anyone who has been, what's the transport like. Heard its a plane and two trains.

Have you looked on the actual website. Ticket prices are there and are a bargain compared to Irish festivals. Get flights and a ticket cheaper than anything here. Hopefully nature one will be on the following weekend. Make a little holiday out of it.

fluff_daddy · 21-11-2011 2:31pm

Defo gonna make my debut at this in 2012 - Looks like best festival going in my opinion

Patsy_13 · 05-12-2011 5:17pm

anyone ever gone before? looks brilliant and bunch of us debating about going!

mooeire · 08-12-2011 7:02pm

Thats the Ryanair ones?
Look at their fees for baggage...Tomorrowland is peak season, some flights are €90 a bag wtf :mad:

klose · 23-12-2011 3:09am

This is all over my news feed on facebook everyone wants to go, some have even booked it off in work already:rolleyes:
Id love to go, then again id love to see metallica (varied music taste) Camping tickets rumoured at 200 even which I would recon is good seeing as it will attract the biggests and best djs, has anyone gone before? any tips/how to get to and from?
I cant even begin to imagine the amount of planning that would go into it..

fluff_daddy · 03-01-2012 3:46pm

1st act announced - Guetta. Ticket info announced on Feb 1st

TheCosmicFrog · 03-01-2012 3:50pm

Thinking of going with a few mates ever since Oxegen was canceled. Went to Electric Picnic last summer and loved it, but I can't help but fear what it'll be like this year. Very different crowds at both and a lot of the Oxegen crowd will no doubt end up going to Picnic as a result.

fluff_daddy · 03-01-2012 3:55pm

yea I hear that alot about the diff type of crowds at each of these. Prob work out cheaper goin to this anyway. I watched it online in July and was best ive seen.

Sure a few pairs of shorts and few tshirts will fit in a carry on bag

Caveman1 · 06-01-2012 9:15pm

Does everybody camp out like oxegen? I'd be interested in hearing from people who've been before as I'm considering going myself this year just not sure where to start

oorrccaa · 09-01-2012 6:19pm

Going here myself.
Fly to either Charleroi or Eindhoven. Both two hours away from Boom.

Train to Antwerp Return. (50euro)

Tomorrowland 3 Day Tickets. (150-200?)

Don't have a clue about where you sleep. Is it like oxygen. Just sleep in a tent ? Or a hotel/hostel. Do you get the tents here or do you buy over there. Can't find those answers.

Fatboy Slim was confirmed Today

I'd imagine there will be loads of Irish at it this year. Especially seen as Oxygen is cancelled.

endacolm123 · 10-01-2012 8:52pm

where did u buy ur tickets for it?? who d best to book ur flights with?? was considerin goin ta amsterdam first den gettin a train from there then... make a right good week out of it

Joeys94 · 10-01-2012 9:32pm

Your best shout would be flying into Brussels, seeming as its only a 50minute train journey to Antwerp where Tomorrowland takes place, and from what I've read you can get your train for around €12.

There definitely is camping, but you have to get a separate ticket for that, almost the same set up as Oxegen as they have Standard and Luxury at different prices.

Planning on going myself with a group. Can see Ryan Air bumping up the flights, already at €125 from the 26th-30th

Hoggy1000 · 11-01-2012 4:59pm

Yeah I really wanna go out to this.

Flights home on the 30th are at 6.30 aswell so it could be dodge aswell as Im guessing the festival is going to end at 12 and I can put money there is partys all night. I dont think I'll have the money for it to be honest, Already heading to spain at the end of the summer for a week

Anyone have a cost estimate? What price are the tickets?

Says 220 on some site

Slunk · 11-01-2012 5:05pm

I htink they do hotel packages too, pick you up in the morning and drop you off at night. They had prices on the website last year. Didnt seem too expensive. Wish I had the money for this

Although first name announced was David Guetta. I ****in hate that ****

I done a general price up a few weeks ago and was working out about 500 for flights, ticket and staying in a hotel or b&b for two or three nights. Dont think I could do the whole camping thing again

I estimated it to be around the same but could save yourself over 100euro if you camp. Believe me Belgium is nothing like here, I was there April last year and it was over 30 degrees. Plus after a long day of throwing yourself around I could imagine that a tent wouldn't be so bad :pac:

Matt1983 · 12-01-2012 12:15pm

Joey94,
Is tomorrowland not on in a place called Boom about 30km from Brussels???

hefferboi · 13-01-2012 12:06am

Jesus I'm mad to go. There's fcuk all info on the website. Like can you reserve tickets or what??

TheMilkyPirate · 13-01-2012 1:34am

Anybody know if this sold out last year??? And if so how quick?

hefferboi · 13-01-2012 3:40pm

I think it sold out over 4 days last year.

TheMilkyPirate · 13-01-2012 7:08pm

Yeah just seen it their now, 5 days.

Flights are 109 is the best i can see on skyscanner, Tickets were 135 last year, Hotel for 130 for the four days.

Looking about 400 all in and then money for trains and taxis plus spending money could make it an expensive weekend, But well worth it.

Can't wait now.

Just some travel info.

Ryanair fly to Charleroi, direct train from the train station (10 mins from the airport by bus) to Antwerp is about €13 and takes about 1hr40.

Aerlingus fly to Zaventem, Train from the airport to Antwerp with 1 change, takes about 1hr10 and costs about €10.

You could also fly with Ryanair to Eindhoven in the NL, i'm not sure about trains/public busses but there is a airport bus to Antwerp for €15 that takes about 1hr30

You can check all times and book tickets for the train at www.b-rail.be

You can buy everything you need in Antwerp, so if you need a tent, its probably cheaper to buy it over there and just leave it, as you'd most likely need to check the tent in on the plane, which would be about 30quid.

Oh and just remember if your booking silly early flights for the return to Dublin, make sure you have enough time to get to the airports, last trains are generally around midnight and first starts usually around 5-6am. Not sure if they'll put on extra trains as i've never been.

Great info thanks Mr.s

Thanks for that Mr. S. Good to get some solid info.

Have my flights booked with aer lingus - dublin to brussels. Looking at your info im thinking my best option is jump on the train to antwerp. How far is it to Boom then....would that be a taxi job?

Would it be very dear to get a taxi from the airport to Boom? Its not too far @ 30km...

Aye Train from the airport to Antwerp and then i'm guessing there will be shuttle bus (or at least some kind of transport! to the festival, just follow the crowds, if in doubt just ask someone who looks like their heading to the festival, most people would have a decent level of English.

Taxi from the Airport might work out cheaper, if there is a few of you, might aswel ask to see if the driver would do a deal or something.

May aswell chance the arm anyway as there would be a few. If we are going via the train to Antwerp do you reckon its definitely better to get the tent there? Would they not majorly hike the prices and cash in on the festival crowd?

I suppose its a battle of whether you want the hassle of bringing one over or pay the extra few quid to get it there

Markodoh · 19-01-2012 9:18pm

defo heading this year it looks unreal! anyone ever been before knows what its like camping? how much food/drink is etc?

df1985 · 20-01-2012 9:01pm

anyone who wants to go will have to be on the ball for tickets. close to 700,000 likes on fb, 90,000 attending on the fb event page (thats more than can get in per day)

Im taking a morning off work when tics go on sale.

Markodoh · 20-01-2012 10:47pm

@ df1985 have you been before? its going to be a instant sell out this year i think the best way to guarantee tickets is take the morning off yea i just hope the website doesn't freeze!! have you heard about these comfort tickets they sound like the way to go

ronanc15 · 24-01-2012 12:04am

i got a quote from a coach company ... 250 return from dublin to tomorrowland including ferries ... so tickets are about 150 for the festival so 400 euro altogether .... doesn't sound too bad ! but there's only 5 of us and its a 48 seater coach ... would anyone be up for it ??

Be some mad banter gettin a bus all the way !!

shane.murphy · 26-01-2012 12:30am

it was 250 euro each .. yeah the session would start straight away like !! .. i'd say they ment for a bus of about 40 @ 250 a head but i'll get back to ya !

Madness, You can get return flights for €90.

Think how much "fun" that coach would be on the way home

Stereomaniac · 26-01-2012 2:53am

A bus from bloody Witnness is a nightmare sure, so to get one back from this festival would not be the best of ideas. General rule of thumb, better the craic = harder to get home.

shane.murphy · 26-01-2012 5:17pm

what airline are doing flights for 90 euro ??
i see aer lingus have 144 ??

shane.murphy · 26-01-2012 6:26pm

That quote for the bus was for a party of 20 .. So if we filled the bus it would only be about 115 each ??
